CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's deposed Islamist president Mohamed Mursi has been referred to a military court for the first time, the state news agency said on Tuesday, part of a sustained crackdown against Muslim Brotherhood leaders.

Mursi was ousted by then army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi after mass protests against his rule in 2013.
